[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my best friend's kids goes there for middle school.
He's bright and a decent student but not brilliant by any means.  He's not a self-motivator so he does well in a school that demands a lot because he's good at doing what's expected of him but isn't going to initiate beyond what is required.

He's a quirky kid and an athlete but never quite fit in the macho athletic world.  Quiet, introverted, needs a lot of down time at home.

PP, you sound like a complete jerk.  I feel bad for the person you call your best friend.[/quote]

huh?

Do I need to spell it out for you?

"not brilliant by any means"
"not a self motivator"
"quirky kid and an athlete but never quite fit in the macho athletic world"
"quiet, introverted, needs a lot of downtime"

If you were my friend and described my son like this, I would smack you.[/quote]

ok, 
let me change it for you.
He's off the charts brilliant, self motivated, macho, extroverted and the life of every party!"

Better?
Of course, none of it is true. [/quote]

How about this:

A bright, competent kid
Does extremely well in a structured environment
Introspective and sensitive, not the partying type
Athletic, but also has a quirky side

See?  You can say the same thing in a much more positive way.  The PP who posted this was extremely insensitive imo.

I agree with you PP.  The original post about the boy was a bit harsh and insensitive.  [/quote]
